Shakespeare 's King Lear has had incarnations that explore this technique: In Lear Maleczech, , Lear was a queen and the conflict on division of the realm was among three sons, rather than three daughters. All of the dialog was left as found save for pronouns. Queen Lere was a feminist production that had women in all the roles, updated language, and things turned out much less tragically.
Little bit of "agenda" , in that one. Akira Kurosawa 's Ran has his Lear analogue divide his realm between three sons.

Amateur Shakespeare productions often do this simply to allow more casting balance, with no change to the plot whatsoever.
Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream , for instance, has no real need to be male or female, so the role can easily be cast for the best performer of either sex. Likewise, many minor characters are presumed to be male, but could just as easily be female. This is nearly always done to Titania's fairy servants.

The more modern female association with fairies, coupled with the fact that a lot more girls will usually audition for any given production of Midsummer , leads to the gender flip. The Tempest also sees a few roles often get flipped. Ariel becoming female is an obvious one, but Stephano or Trinculo also may become a female to make the subtext between the two more palatable and Prospero can sometimes become a woman named Prospera as well; this last one has the greatest impact as Prospero and his daughter Miranda are two of the main characters and the relationship between them changes when it's a mother and daughter rather than a father and daughter.

Female casts have still gone ahead, but not without having to wrangle with his estate.
